It's not true.

Tried to charge Nexus 5 D821 with original charger and cable from Samsung S4 and got around 1.7-1.8A (based on Current Widget data) when battery was almost empty and also charging time from around 10-20% to 100% took around 1 hour but with original charger it takes around 2 hours usually.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Datsun.510:
Hello Everyone,

Here are my closing statements regarding the charger and battery:

After 11 months of using my Nexus 5 and using my 1.8a charger as my only charger. It still has not shown any signs of a weaker or dying battery. With the right rom and kernel, I can easily get a over a day and a half of use without recharging. Well the battery last like that forever? Of course not. The capacity of the battery begins to get weaker with age. But I can honestly say that after 11 months I haven't seen any problems or shorter life with it.

Just sold my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sirxdroid:
I know this is an old thread, but it comes up in search results (you do search, right?) :)

So ... I think the best way to test how much current the N5 is pulling is to use one of these Charger Doctor ammeters:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=usb+charger+doctor&_frs=1

I tried one with an Anker 2.4A charger and I haven't seen the N5 pull more than 1.2x A

I also have a Belkin charger rated 1A and the N5 was still pulling 1.1x A from it. Good enough.

The eye opener is that cables make a huge difference. I have some OEM cables from LG and Samsung and they are not doing well at all, while some cheap no-name cable that I was sure it was not good and I was ready to toss seems to be the leader of the tests.

Time to buy some quality "charge only" cables made with thick wires, like this PortaPow.

Apps such as Ampere can give you an idea but don't rely on the reported numbers too much. Apps are good to get a feel which charger/cable combinations are decent and which are not.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rbrenart:
I was chuckling at the unimportance of this thread, loaded up Ampere, and saw that I was getting +660mA - - 400mA with some old blackberry cable I had from who knows how many years ago. Switched to my Anker cable from a 5 pack I ordered not so long ago +900mA - - 400mA. Both with the stock charger.

I was surprised.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sirxdroid:
Has anyone seen their N5 pull more than 1.2A? I have not, even from chargers that can supply a lot more than that, with high quality USB cables. I know some people report 1.5A, 1.7A, 1.8A but I'm not sure whether they are measuring it in an accurate way or just back of the envelope calculation.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Hi guys,

i read these articles and want to know if a modification like this really works? - If yes, where can i get (i am from germany) the right 3000mAh battery for nexus 5? actually i have an lg g3 but i want back to nexus 5 if i can find a battery.

Sorry but i can't post links at the moment.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolamarcel:
Hey,

I have a small question again.

My wife has the LG P700 and used until recently one of Rome SlimBean.

There it was, that's all been somehow smaller, which had more space on the desktop.

I do not know how to describe it .... on the PC, I would say that the resolution has been changed.

Well anyway, I did like the totally good and I wonder if you can also transfer it somehow to the DHD / apply.

Does anyone know what?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
Normally I would say DHD has smaller DPI, but they both have the same screen size and same resolution.

The solution would be to set smaller fonts in setting or change ROM (generally AOSP ROMS (or Sense3.6) have smaller UI elements than Sense4)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ribeard:
Some roms have custom DPI options, if you're finding that your rom is too big/small ParanoidAndroid might be a good bet.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolamarcel:
Hey,

Thanks for the replies.

Has anyone had experience with TEXTDROIDER_DPI?

This is probably the one to change.

Currently I have 240 DPI. The app hits me 220 ​​DPI ago. I get displayed I definitely want to make a backup of what I have done.

According app it can happen that you get a Bootloop and then have to change a file.

Now before I try out, I prefer to ask ... maybe someone has done it already experiences.

CyanogenMod version:

20,131,022-4.3-beta6-Ace
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
changing DPI may look tempting, but in most cases it will mess up graphics by making UI elements look blurry. Moreover, you may have problems with apps compatibility.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edjekadetj:
Hi,

Recently I hooked up my S4 (originally from Germany) to the prog KIES, and a pop up occured telling me there was a firmware upgrade available.

After upgrading I all over sudden can't root my phone any more.

I tried to, but the security prog inside the S4 stopped it.

Q: Is there any chance I can get rid of my firmware upgrade, does anybody here has any experience with that?

Pls advice,

Ed
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: odin flash

Go to http://sammobile.com and download the stock official Samsung 4.2.2

Jelllybean firmware for your phone and flash it using the ODIN utility

Once that's done your phone will be in the same unrooted condition as it was

when you purchased the phone.

Just make sure that you select the correct firmware/rom baseband/model for

your specific phone's model number before downloading from sammobile.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edjekadetj:
Sounds good Misterjunky!

I'll find the right 4.2.2 and try from there on.

Thanks and I'll keep you posted!

Ed
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edjekadetj:
Hi Misterjunky,

According to different Samsung 'experts' it seems to be impossible to downgrade on your firmware.

To be sure I veriefied this in a quick chat with the boys from Samsung customer support, who confirmed this rumour.

CS also advised me to continue installing Knox, that is already planted on my S4.

According to the terms of conditions of Knox I won't be able to root it afterwards and in case it detects a rooted phone, it will lock down it's container (separate folder containing needfull data).

Do you have any experience with Knox and, if so, how is your opinion on that?

Best regards,

Ed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbhishekS:
I accidentally deleted the FM Radio APK of my Micromax A90 and didn't have a backup.

I tried three different FM Radio APKs, but none worked correctly.

First one was for Gingerbread so didn't work on ICS.

Second one installed but constantly gave up a message of initializing.

Third one also installed but force closes on opening the app.

So I request someone to please upload the APK of FM Radio.

Thank you.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foscot:
Given that the only "proof" that was of the 4.4 update is changed to this saying "no updates planned" and LG has the worst update history in the universe, we can only hope.

Here is the thing,,,

Flash Player don't not work no mo...

With that said.

I have tried the following:

Downloaded Android flash 11.1 - Fail

Tried an Older Version of Dolphin Browser - Fail

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - Fail

What is goal?

I really.. REALLY Want to get amazon videos working via the browser...

I even tried the Amazon videos apk file and it does install on to the phone and you can open it, but it is not operational... fail.

Amazons site will keep requesting that I install flash player to view movies , yet on my 2.3/2.2 version Photon 4G that function works perfectly.

Now I know their have been small attempts , but I really wanna get the ball rolling on this.

Help please.
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
Try using Flashfox browser.
[Nexus 5 General] Visa Declined:
On my Nexus 4, I used Flash Player with Firefox just fine.
[Nexus 5 General] godgib:
Photon Browser... It will even let me stream Hulu, I hate the adds but it works...
[Nexus 5 General] zoddfrank:
NOPE still won't work.
[Nexus 5 General] zoddfrank:
Photon Browser is.... so... broken. It barely works and make the Nexus 5 seem like a slow piece of crap!
[Nexus 5 General] zoddfrank:
Bump..

Bump... Is there nothing else ? :(
[Nexus 5 General] trax7:
Well... Flash support has been dropped since 4.1. Some browsers have been working until now but it seems Google has decided against flash for good. I think we won't see flash on 4.4 at least until browsers get updated...
[Nexus 5 General] DeXel55:
Firefox indeed works with Flash player on Nexus 4, and on SGS2 with CM10.2.

I wish I had my N5 to test it.
[Nexus 5 General] red12355:
Have you tried boat browser?
[Nexus 5 General] AdamUpNorth:
No, it doesn't work on the N5 with KitKat at the moment.
[Nexus 5 General] LaytonxGyakuten:
puffin browser

I can confirm that flash is working on my nexus 5 when using the paid version of puffin web browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffin&hl=en), I dont know about the free version, I believe it has a trial to it. I tested with a few random games from miniclip and flash works. Give it a try OP :)
[Nexus 5 General] famewolf:
Have you tried lightning browser? It is supposed to support flash and is light on resources to boot.
[Nexus 5 General] neugenusis:
Puffin is a cloud browser. You're not technically running flash, its just that Puffin's servers are streaming it to you. IMHO, the quality isn't the same.

I too can't get flash to work on N5, but works on my N4, N7, N10, & G2. Probably not going to update those to Kit Kat if flash don't work.
[Nexus 5 General] Phil Anselmo:
I've been watching live sports via flash streams using the Photon Browser. It's a little quirky and has a lot of ads, but it gets the job done.
[Nexus 5 General] DeXel55:
Looks like KitKat completely broke flash.

Fix

There must be a fix, Flash was one of the reasons I went with android to begin with. Being able to play flash content when you need it is essential!
[Nexus 5 General] Keydogg1:
Agreed!
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Has anyone tried installing Flash and Dolphin Browser and then deleted the preferences file for Dolphin? That's the fix I used on my Nexus 4 and has worked forever since. For some reason my N4 now seems to have lost root so can't get into the data folder to see where the file is exactly. I'll have a go tonight once I have my N5 and rooted it.

No idea what's going on with my N4, think it's feeling replacement depression and rebelling against me haha!

[Nexus 5 General] tjtj4444:
Adobe doesn't support flash for Android since quite some time.

It is not possible to get old binaries to continue working forever. It is well known that flash for Android is a dead end.

So you should try to solve this by pushing the websites to release solutions without flash.
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Actually Adobe continued to support Flash on Android all the way up to 2 months ago. If it runs on ICS, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, I'm sure it will run on 4.4 with some app updates and community help. From Adobe's website:

"On September 10th 2013, Adobe released Flash Player 11.1.111.73 for Android 2.x and 3.x and 11.1.115.81 for Android 4.0.x in keeping with statements made in our publicly available Flash Roadmap. This is the final update release of Flash Player for the Android operating system. While it is not recommended, if you would like to download this release for previous Android releases, please see the links below:

etc."

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
[Nexus 5 General] tjtj4444:
Please note 4.0.x above, Jelly Bean has never been supported officially.

I'm just saying that it'll be more difficult every day to get flash to work on Android.

It is up to you for how long you mess with flash until you have to skip it completely.
[Nexus 5 General] akhenax:
I'd like to know if you tried Flashfox?

[Nexus 5 General] jinosong:
Have you tried installing Lucky Patcher?
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
Your situation sucks, no question.

That said, lets be honest. The problem isn't that we can't get Flash working on 4.4/Nexus 5, the problem is these companies STILL using Flash. It is an archaic programming language and one of the worst web languages used. It needs to go away, end of story.
[Nexus 5 General] GSLEON3:
Until someone compiles their browser WITH the older AOSP renderer, server-side rendering is the ONLY option. As of 4.4 Google has changed the web rendering device wide to Chromium. That means no native FLash support for any device rendering browser PERIOD. Some dev may integrate the old rendering web engine, but until then, or until a developer builds a browser with it's own rendering web engine, it is a no go PERIOD.
[Nexus 5 General] PhoenixTank:
I hate this 'defeatist' talk so soon.

Unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten about Firefox. It uses Gecko - not WebKit or Blink.

Any of us are quite free to go compile our custom Firefox (Minefield) build - Whether that even helps or not is a different matter though.

Somewhere along the line, some incompatibility has been introduced with version 4.4 on at least the main nexus devices. I'd suggest we find the problem before even writing it off.

For better or for worse, Flash was a part of the web for many years. As such, there is plenty of content locked into Flash - You can't just wish it away.

You know, ActionScript 3 is a variant of ECMAScript. So is JavaScript, one of the most widely used and portable languages in the world.

Unfavourable, AS & Flash may be... but they rose to prominence in an era where web development had stagnated. It filled a need and a desire. HTML5 & CSS have been catching up ever since. The amount of effort put in to optimising CSS & JS since is staggering.

Flash has always been pretty poor on mobile devices, but it was usable.

If there is actually a thread or project somewhere on this with sensible suggestions and discussion, I would love to be pointed in that direction.
[Nexus 5 General] Hideaki02:
Flash has been discontinued by Adobe. What mobile platform can you switch to and get flash support? There simply is none.

I can confirm Puffin works, but all other browsers are not working at all. This really is a bummer, I got so use to using Dolphin as my main mobile browser and not that flash does not work on it I have change to another platform. This is crap!

I hope someone finds out what KK did to disable flash.
[Nexus 5 General] tjtj4444:
They changed html-engine to full featured chrome-engine. So we get best possible html5-support in 4.4.

And flash does not get updated to support this since it isn't supported by Adobe. So there will not be any flash support without ugly hacks.
